From NR:
"The name of a [LilyPond-]variable should have alphabetic characters
only; no numbers, underscores or dashes."

Those are the _allowed_ ones. Not sure whether the NR is still correct
about underscores and dashes, though.
No numbers, because they would be understood as durations.

Anyway, there are possibilities to name things using signs which are
not yet forbidden and can't yet be misunderstood.
Example:
my-first-rest¹ = { r1 }

Note the "yet"!! It may change in future versions.

Cheers,
  Harm
